The effect of particle size distribution on froth
Aug 31, 2017 For a similar mean particle size (d 50), a greater proportion of coarser particles (i.e. d 80 for particle set B) resulted in higher froth stability at lower air rates. This demonstrates that small changes in the particle size range can have significant effects on the froth stability, which affects the final flotation performance. 4. Conclusions

RECOVERY OF VALUES FROM A PORPHORY COPPER
The efficiency of the froth flotation process has long been known to be strongly dependent on particle size. For sulfide minerals, good recoveries are typically achieved in industrial flotation circuits for particles in the 30 to 150 m size range. Particles outside this critical size are typically lost in industrial

We notice that when a particle falls into a liquid, it slowly settles down. The bigger and denser ones settle fast. The smaller and lighter settles slowly. This principle is used in particle size determination.
